Somewhat belatedly The Tribune |seems to have discovered that the candidate it sup- ported for the presidency was nominated by “inter-| |national bankers and the champagne and caviar liberals of the East.” Now depicting Willkie as a | fifth columnist in the Republican Party throughout ast year's campaign, The Tribune summarizes: “There wasn't any good to be got out of him. And let that be a lesson to all of us.” H The Tribune's switch of opinion on Willkie un- doubtedly will be a lesson to many of “us,” but possibly not to apply in quite the same way. Such uwitting “front” yuncor as The Tribune now reveals can rise only to be subversive. from recent provocation.
